Maton struck out two in a perfect inning in Thursday's 7-4 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old pitched the fifth inning after starter Zach Plesac gave up three runs in four innings in his first start back from a broken thumb. Maton has strung together 5.1 scoreless innings in his last five appearances, which is his longest scoreless streak of the year. The reliever has a 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB across 34.2 innings in a low-leverage role.

Maton (2-0) gave up one run on three hits while fanning three in one inning Sunday against Pittsburgh. He earned the win.

EDGE Analysis

Maton allowed Pittsburgh's lone run of the game, but he also struck out the three batters he retired en route to his second win of the campaign. The right-hander ended a streak of three scoreless outings and has given up runs in three of his seven appearances this month. He owns a 5.86 ERA across 24 appearances (27.2 innings) on the campaign.

Maton allowed two hits and struck out three in a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 7-2 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Maton has been somewhat inconsistent with 12 runs allowed in his last 13.2 innings, but he was able to get out of a jam in the sixth inning Tuesday. The right-hander has a 6.20 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 39:9 K:BB and one hold in 24.2 innings. He hasn't pitched well enough so far to earn a higher-leverage role.

Maton (1-0) got the win in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox after allowing a hit and punching out two in a scoreless sixth.

EDGE Analysis

Maton allowed a leadoff double to Yoan Moncada but was able to take care of the next three hitters to get out of the inning with no harm done. The 28-year-old earned both his first win and hold of the year while lowering his ERA to 6.75 to go along with a 26:9 K:BB over 17.1 innings.

Maton allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over one-third of an inning in Friday's 10-0 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Maton relieved Triston McKenzie in the fourth inning, but the reliever wasn't able to stop the bleeding. The 28-year-old Maton now has a 7.62 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB across 13 innings this year. He's given up nine runs in his last six outings, so the right-hander is unlikely to see many high-leverage situations any time soon.

Maton allowed one walk and struck out one over 1.1 innings in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

May has been a bit of a roller-coaster month for the reliever -- he's allowed five runs over 5.1 innings. For comparison, Maton only gave up two runs across 7.1 innings in April. Overall, the 28-year-old has a 4.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 12.2 innings this season. He's seen very little high-leverage work without a save or hold to his name.

Maton allowed a run on two hits and a walk with three strikeouts in Tuesday's 7-3 win over Kansas City. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Maton worked as an opener Tuesday, and the only run he allowed came on a Michael Taylor single in the second inning. Through 10 innings this season, Maton owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB. He'll likely return to a low-leverage role in the bullpen.

Maton will serve as the opener Tuesday in Kansas City, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sam Hentges, a big lefty, will come in after Maton records 3-to-6 outs. Maton has recorded four or five outs in three of his eight appearances but has yet to log two full frames.

Maton pitched a scoreless inning and allowed one hit in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Cleveland was hit hard early in the game, but Nick Wittgren, Maton and Kyle Nelson combined for three scoreless innings at the end of the game. The 28-year-old Maton now has a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 7.1 innings this year. He has yet to record a hold, but more strong outings could see him take on higher-leverage assignments as the season continues.

Maton pitched one inning with a hit-by-pitch and one strikeout in Monday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Maton relieved starter Triston McKenzie for the fifth inning. The 28-year-old Maton plunked Nick Williams on his third pitch, but retired the next three batters without trouble. Maton has tossed 1.1 scoreless innings across his first two outings in 2021. The right-hander will likely work in the middle innings to begin the season.
